Chapter 59: Late Night (38)
From the outside, the black boulder was tall, but it only took up an area of five or six square meters. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info is at best a huge stone.
I didn't expect the space in it to be surprisingly large.
Little by little, time passed. He Zhan followed behind the giant python, swinging his arms mechanically, the colder he swam, and he couldn't even feel the presence of his limbs later.
But his arms were still paddling rhythmically, as if he was being controlled by something.
There is more and more ice floe in the water, from a small ice ballast to a fist-sized block of ice. The surface of the water rippled slightly with the movements of this man and snake, bringing floating ice blocks to collide with each other, which brought a little vitality to the place.
It's so dark that there's not even a little light. Except for the occasional reflection of the ghostly eyes of the giant python in front of him, he could barely see anything.
It's about ten minutes, or it's like twenty minutes...... It could be half an hour or more.
The monotonous sound of paddling and the crashing of ice was repeated in my ears. They were approaching something very dangerous, and the closer they got, the more terrifying they felt.
Darkness can evoke fear in the deepest depths of the human heart.
Sometimes, there is no need for any ghosts and demons, and there is no need for any pretending to be ghosts. As long as there is pure darkness left, the humans in it will be scared half to death by their own imagination.
Even homicidal maniacs are no exception.
Time seemed to slow down silently, and swimming, a very physically demanding exercise, did not cause him much fatigue. Or, because the body is exhausted to the extreme, the perception of exhaustion is also blurred.
Hey? I remember thinking I couldn't swim, but how did I get on the surface now?
This doubt only lingered in the mind for a few seconds, and then it was forgotten.
He couldn't think about overly complicated questions at all, as long as he thought about it, his mind was like being eaten by countless ants, it hurt and itched, and it was blank.
Maybe it's because my brain is frozen in water.
He listened to the sound of the water splashing around him, and sneered self-deprecatingly.
When the python leading the way in front stopped, he finally saw a little light in the distance.
The python lowered his head and motioned with his eyes for the remaining distance to swim over on his own.
I'm going to have to send it here.
He Zhan read such information from the eyes of the snake.
The light source in the distance was some kind of faint and icy silver, not bright, but reminiscent of a cold moon hanging high in the sky.
It goes well with the surrounding ice. It's cold, cold, and impersonal.
"You're not coming with me?"
He asked the python again.
The python didn't even bother to give a look, and leisurely turned around and swam back in the direction they had come.
"! What a dead beast is angry! I really think I'm a person! ”
He cursed again in a very low voice.
The long tail of the "dead beast", which had not swam far, rose from the water and slammed into the back of his head.
He was knocked forward some distance, and a half-man-high block of ice hit his chest, the sharp ice ballast piercing his soaked coat and hitting his heart.
In the blink of an eye, the python had already swam far away, and even the sound of a small splash of water fell on his ears.
He snorted in pain~ but didn't even dare to complain anymore, and swam forward tremblingly.
This place is too quiet and empty, and the slightest sound will be infinitely amplified, and it will echo back and forth for a long time.
In such an environment, even He Zhan, a murderous and fearless man, subconsciously lightened his movements and tried not to make too much noise, for fear of alarming the unknown dangers hidden in the dark.
The small voice had been processed by the environment, and when it reached his ears again, it was more like a whispering ghost.
The silvery light source grew clear as he approached. When he finally saw what was glowing, he couldn't help but gasp.
It was a huge block of ice, sinking deep into the water. Starting from a certain point in the center, it emits a large ~ piece of silver light outward.
In the middle of the ice, a young man dressed in white was closing his eyes, and he was like a god illuminated by the dazzling silver light, and he didn't know whether he was asleep or dead.
He sank deep underwater, his face blurred by the ripples of the water, making it impossible for anyone on the surface to see what he really was.
And the silver light that could still illuminate this space through the deep ice water was something that this person was holding on his chest.
"That's it."
He asked in a low voice to the cold air in front of him, as if he was sure of something, and as if he was emboldening himself.
No one answered his question, but as if he had gained some courage, he plunged headlong into the water.
It doesn't matter, this thing has been frozen in ice, I don't know how many years, it will probably be dead a long time ago.
Maybe they will all freeze together with ice cubes and crumble into slag when you knock them, so there's no need to be afraid.
There was no need to be afraid, he couldn't be alive again.
Even if he survived, such a thin little white face would not have much strength.
Just go over and stab him in the heart, and you're done.
It didn't take much effort to stab a living person, and this "frozen man" was of course simpler.
It's all about with one knife, how simple it is, I've done it before I don't know how many times.
He kept finding all sorts of reasons to soothe his pounding heart, but to no avail. As he went deeper into the water, the closer he got to the young man in the ice, the more uneasy he became.
The overwhelming fear was like an impenetrable net, covering his head, and he was tied up layer by layer, and he couldn't struggle.
The silver light in the water swayed gently with the water waves, and the distance between him and him became closer and closer, but the facial features of the young man sleeping in the ice were still blurred.
There was always a mist hanging over his face, and no matter how close he tried, he could never get a glimpse of his true face.
Even information such as "sleeping" and "young man" appeared in my mind out of thin air the moment I saw the figure in the ice.
In fact, this vague shadow alone cannot be seen except that it looks like a person.
As he approached, the glowing in the ice dimmed a little. By the time he actually touched the thick and hard ice with the tip of his knife, the silver light had shrunk into a spot the size of a grain of rice, illuminating a pair of bony hands around it.
The frozen young man folded his hands and laid them flat on his chest. The dim silver light poured out from between his fingers like flowing water, like a firefly caught by someone~, desperately trying to radiate its own light.
He Zhan clenched the knife in his hand, the Adam's apple rolled up and down, and the heart in his chest was beating violently because of excessive tension, as if it could jump out of his throat at any time.
It was just a stretch that could be done, but he did it extremely slowly.
The trembling tip of the knife hit the ice with a small crumbling sound, never able to go further. It was as if it was trembling with fear.
It doesn't matter, it's just that it's too cold around, so the hands are a little shaky, not at all because of fear.
The threat of death is imminent. This murderous monster, when facing the Witch King sleeping quietly in the ice, finally understood the feelings of those who died under his sword.
The silver light hidden in the ice was finally completely extinguished at this moment, and the water was instantly plunged into darkness.
The pale hands in the ice cube moved silently, but they were not noticed by the panicked He Zhan.
He was in a panic of losing his light source, and the darkness in front of him caused the unnaturalness that he had deliberately ignored for a long time to jump out one after another, dangling in front of his eyes, scrambling to get attention.
This water is so cold, most people have already frozen to death, why do I just feel cold?
I've been underwater for so long, why don't I feel like we're lacking oxygen yet?
And what the hell is this guy they asked me to kill, and why do I feel scared when I see it.
I'm going to die...... No, I'm probably dead, and I'm going to have something even more horrible than death.
"Huh?"
Suddenly there was a human voice in the darkness, and he was so frightened that he almost threw the knife in his hand.
"What kind of place is this?"
The man seemed to be groping for something as he spoke, and the sound of squirming kept coming, gradually approaching.
"You...... What a person! ”
He Zhan raised his knife and stared defensively in the direction where the voice came from, but his voice was trembling.
He couldn't see anything, and waved the knife in his hand a few times, showing his strength to the other party with his voice.
"Ahh It turns out that there are people! ”
The person on the other side exclaimed in surprise when he won the prize.
With the sound of "Gada", a small cluster of fire ignited in the dark space.
Under the water that brightened up again, the two people stared at each other for a long time, and suddenly spoke out in unison.
"What war?"
"Who are you?"
The moment he heard his name, He Zhan subconsciously waved the knife at the person in front of him.
The icy water around him brought tremendous resistance, and the blade slowly and heavily arced in a circle, and finally touched nothing.
"What are you doing here crawling on the ground?"
Ye Tianlang held the lighter and looked condescendingly at the sloppy man at his feet: "Since you are here, then this is the ...... Hell? ”
"What hell?"
He Zhan opened his mouth in surprise and looked up at the young man above: "You know me?" ”
The two of them were in a very strange posture at this time.
He Zhan's entire body was lying on the ice, and he came face to face with the young man in the ice with a blurred face.
Ye Tianlang, on the other hand, stepped on the ice cube and treated it as the ground, and the lighter in his hand lit in the cold water.
The two of them just formed a right angle, and whoever looked at it felt that everything was twisted.
"Of course I know you, I know you too well."
Ye Tianlang lowered his head, showed him a "gentle and friendly" smile, and stepped directly on his head.
This head that made him hate it was at his feet, and if he didn't step on it, he was sorry that they had been in love and killing each other for so long in the first half of the night.
He Zhan's entire face was pressed against the cold ice in front of him, and the huge pressure from the back of his head pressed his mouth and nose, making him almost breathless.
It was only at this time that he realized that he no longer needed to breathe to stay alive.
The chill from the ice cubes was unlike anything he had ever encountered before. The moment you touch your skin, you can feel the stiffness of the area you come into contact with.
"How could I not know you, I can recognize you when you are burned to ashes."
Ye Tianlang stood on the ice, and crushed He Zhan's head with force under his feet, in order to vent his dissatisfaction.
Anyway, no one can see it, and this ghost place is probably not protected by the law, so there should be no problem with abusing ~ treating captives.
And......
He lowered his head, stared at the blue-purple back of He Zhan's bruise-purple neck with faint scales, and sneered.
This thing is no longer human, and even if there were laws, it would not be protected.
He Zhan's facial features were all squeezed together, and he was pressed against the ice and rubbed around.
He swung the knife in his hand vigorously, trying to scare away the person who was pressing on him.
The people I met in the hospital were scared as soon as they saw him do this. The bolder ones dared to struggle to escape, and the less timid ones simply sat on the ground and couldn't even speak.
Ye Tianlang is obviously not of the same level as those "civilized people" - he doesn't eat this set at all.
This person stepped on his head, his heart was very happy, and he vented his anger for most of the night~ out, and he couldn't wait to press this monster into the ice and freeze it.
He Zhan's mind flashed quickly over the faces of people of different shapes, trying to recall what kind of Mao God this person who didn't say a word and did it directly.
Naturally, I can't think of results.
His brain was not smart in the first place, but at this time, he was frozen by the ice, but he was even more sluggish.
What's more, the two of them are indeed ...... Haven't seen it yet.
The man's facial features covered in ice were still blurred, and under the light of the blue and faint fire, he looked even more confused, and became more and more blurred.
He Zhan got very close to this blurred face, and finally saw clearly what the white mist blocking his vision was.
Just a layer of very fine foam. was frozen in the ice, which happened to block the man's entire face.
Thin cracks widen in front of my eyes. A few small blisters rose from under the ice, and it seemed that there was still a lot of shallow water underneath. The sound of crushing ice was extremely subtle, and it kept reaching his ears, and it could only reach his ears.
"Woo woo woo ......" (please stop stepping on it, the ice is going to crack)
He Zhan struggled and made a series of indistinct sounds, his dancing movements were very anxious, but the other party couldn't receive the message he wanted to express at all.
"What are you screaming about, do you think my strength is too small?"
Ye Tianlang laughed softly, raised his foot slightly, and stepped on it again.
The ice in front of him made an overwhelmed sound, and cobweb-like cracks spread from the tip of his nose to the periphery, layer upon layer of thin.
"Uh-huh!" (It's broken!) )
"Oh? You think it's not enough? ”
Ye Tianlang stopped his movements in surprise: "Mr. He, you are really difficult to serve!" It's easy to offend people by being so demanding. ”
The water under the ice seeped out of the crack, and when it slapped He Zhan's face, it was even colder than the water around him, and it seemed to be able to freeze the soul together.
Finished.
He Zhan struggled hard, and the inexplicable uneasiness in his heart became more and more obvious.
There is something even more terrible going on than the ice cracking.
"Uh-huh!"
His whole face turned purple, and he pulled his throat and wailed something.
He's waking up.
Two blood vessels burst out from both sides of his neck, and because of the exertion, the two shoulder blades were high~ bulging, showing their shape from under the heavy clothing.
The scales looming at the back of his neck finally showed their true face, spreading densely down his collar.
The Witch King, who had been frozen for many years, slowly opened his eyes.
The lighter in his hand had been burning for too long, and the metal case had begun to burn.
Ye Tianlang stepped on the person with great interest, and let go of the lighter that he was pressing tightly, wanting to let it cool down for the time being.
Once again, darkness has fallen.
He Zhan looked at a pair of pure black eyes in front of him in horror, his ~ legs were in vain ~ kicking, his throat made a "gurgling" sound, and the protruding eyeballs seemed to be rolling out of his sockets at any time.
The eyes in the ice have no whites and no pupils. There was only pure darkness, filled with two eye sockets, which looked like those evil devils who appeared in the TV series.
A moment later, the glow of the flames lit up the surroundings once more.
"Yo, I said why do you keep calling, it turns out that there is another person here!"
Ye Tianlang finally saw another person under the ice, and suddenly showed an incredible expression.
"How do you ......"
Before he could finish the question in his heart, he heard a "boom" from under his feet.
The fragile ice finally collapsed under his vigorous stomping, pulling the two people above them into a deeper layer of icy water.
Why is Shen Luotian here?
Before falling into the water, such a question flashed in Ye Tianlang's mind.
Then came complete darkness.
